Jason
McLean vs. Kevin
RoddyRound 1
A decent, if not great showing as we start the first preliminary of
the evening. The men touch gloves and both fighters exchange leg
kicks. The Pellegrino MMA-trained Roddy looks to be the aggressor
of the two in the early going going after McLean. Roddy misses on a
right hook but follows up with a one-two that only does a little
damage. McLean is doing very little to start this opening round.
Roddy comes in for a combination and McLean counters, but again
with very little punches on either side. A whole lot of nothing
from this opening round as McLean seems to be struggling with
Roddy's range. Roddy moves in on McLean, allowing McLean to connect
with a one-two. Very little of significance in this opening round
until a very late takedown by McLean puts Roddy into the fence. It
could be enough to give McLean the round, but Sherdog.com scores it
10-10.

and Roddy continues to paw with his right. He finally follows up
with a brief flurry before both fighters go back to circling.

bringing a stop to the action. After a brief rest we get the

and comes in full force on his opponent with a big flurry taking
the taller fighter down with his shots. The ensuing scramble sees
Roddy get back up to his feet as McLean is unable to capitalize.

counter Roddy again. A couple of kicks fail to find their mark for
Roddy at the end
of the round that goes the way of McLean, 10-9.

Round 3

right hook for his troubles. A takedown scores for McLean about a
minute into the round, but little comes from it as Roddy gets back
up. Roddy tries to turn the tables on McLean, and after a less than
stellar looking takedown attempt gets McLean on his back up against
the cage and in mount. McLean tries to maneuver his way into a
better position underneath Roddy but the longer Roddy takes
McLean's back with 90 seconds left to go in the round. McLean is
trying to turn into Roddy while fighting off the rear-naked choke
attempt and a body triangle. With less than 30 seconds to go McLean
manages to turn all the way into Roddy but has to fight off an
armbar attempt as the round closes. Sherdog.com scores the third
round in favor of Roddy 10-9.
